Abstract
We consider solving the surface Helmholtz equation on a smooth two dimensional surface embedded into a three dimensional space meshed with tetrahedra. The mesh does not respect the surface and thus the surface cuts through the elements. We consider a Galerkin method based on using the restrictions of continuous piecewise linears defined on the tetrahedra to the surface as trial and test functions.Using a stabilized method combining Galerkin least squares stabilization and a penalty on the gradient jumps we obtain stability of the discrete formulation under the condition hk<C, where h denotes the mesh size, k the wave number and C a constant depending mainly on the surface curvature κ, but not on the surface/mesh intersection. Optimal error estimates in the H1 and L2-norms follow.
